Modify Apps From the IOS App remotely

[joshuadrush]

It would be nice to be able to modify apps from the ios app remotely using the cloud. I usually think of something I want to do or troubleshoot something that didn't work correctly when I am not home. I know I could create a VPN but it would be nice to have that ability in the app like Smarthings does.

Not sure if this would do what you want.

[Beta] Remote hub ui access

I created an app that lets you access your hub ui remotely. I've just poked around a little bit in the UI, I still have to go through it in a more deliberate manor. I don't think that code editing will work, but device control and editing existing apps seems to work. Also I would like to upload more of the static files to the github repo so that they don't have to be served from the hub all the time. Take a look and provide feedback, thank you. After adding the app code, make sure you enable…

VPN into your network and you could just use the regular web browser.

like Smarthings does.

ST is cloud based, your not login into your hub at home, your login into the Samsung servers. There are some Pros and many Cons to that change in setup. Could it still be done, sure. Should it be, not in IMO.

Personally I do not need, or want access to the admin UI from outside my LAN. HE is local and I for one hope it always stays that way. If I need access remotely there are options (VPN, TeamViewer, etc.) If you have access remotely, so can others (I know it's been 'secured' but...yeah).

Having direct admin UI access from the cloud I hold in the same regard as a subway station. Sure the subway brings you to the city, but it also brings the city to you. I'll drive, thanks.

I thought about creating a VPN but am a little hesitant doing so. I get inspiration on building or tweaking stuff when I’m away from home and usually forget by the time I get home.
